hahaha what a terrible possession, what a stupid game

[Butterscup1679666578]

wait that white giant can hit 3's?

That's his second or third of the game.

 

But he still can't catch passes that aren't thrown to him underhand

 

you dont say

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

ugggggghhhhhhhh have fun in Turkey

[Guest]

I told you he couldn't catch the ball

 

It is more difficult when someone is holding your arms.

[illiniguy]

And yet again we don't get a look. Grow some hands Mike Tisdale.

[Magnetic Curses]

lol, nice job tisdale.

 

and osu gets lucky. they're gonna go undefeated now, no question. they'll take their tour stop to every city in the big ten and unload their own refs and win. because that's what the megaschool does and can afford.

 

nobody bet against the megaschool.

[Magnetic Curses]

nice uncalled reach-in on diebler there, too

[bukie]

What the hell was that by DMac?

 

You don't waste 12 seconds and then try to bounce pass for a layup down 3.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

McCamey probably shouldnt show his face after this performance. Absolutely pathetic. NBA stock plunging.

[Magnetic Curses]

another banged-in ft, lol.

I didn't see his arms being held, especially on that reverse angle.

[Magnetic Curses]

what a miscarriage of cosmic justice.

I didn't either. But the rest of the game we could have maybe gotten the benefit of the doubt once in a little while. I know Jared Sullinger is the next Karl Malone and everything, but that was ridiculous.

It's hard for Illinois to win when McCamey does nothing, nobody can hit a 3, and the opponent gets bailed out by fouls every other trip down and makes 90% of their FTs.

But, we still played with them. Just wish we would get a freaking shot off once when it matters.

Probably the most frustrating thing about the last two mins was the complete lack of movement on offense. Just standing around for 20 seconds and trying a 3 or jump-hook.

I've seen enough of D.J. Richardson. He doesn't bring anything really. I know Paul is a moron, but at least he is always aggresive and I think he guards just as well. Richmond was awesome and that's two games in a row. I really hope it's starting to come together for him. The big thing from this game is they can't pout now. They have to win at IU and NW next week. Cause the schedule is gonna get tougher. We cannot be sitting on the bubble again because our name doesn't carry the weight it used to.

Playing with them is not saying much. First, Penn St played with OSU,too; two, we are playing in the Hall --it should not only be expected for our teams to play with people but the expectation should be wins. I remember during the 80's and early 2000's when teams put an "L" down on their schedule when they saw @ Illinois. I thought we'd go undefeated at home this year.

 

This game was lost because we didn't shoot the 3 today and I still think it's dumb for any team to rely so heavily on the 3. Again, due to our hatred for contact, we didn't get to the free throw line by being aggressive to the rim instead settling for 3's. 10 FTs? Yeah, refs missed a lot of calls, but when you take so many jumpers and rarely go to the hole, refs are going to miss calls. Similar to a pitcher who is rarely around the plate not getting close pitches called for a strike. Had we been able to go to the line even five more times, I think we win the game. OSU had 5 team fouls with 13 minutes left and we let them off the hook. And is Tyler Griffey in the doghouse?

Thank you for saying what most Illinois fans seem to overlook when it comes to officiating.

I agree with a lot of that, but I've said my piece on the state of the program now. That doesn't change the fact that Sullinger was like Sean May today in our gym. He might have just got fouled heading to the bus.

Jereme Richmond showed today that he may be the best all-around player on Illinois. He may not be the most mature kid, but when he does he will be awesome. I hope he doesn't try and leave for the NBA next year. McCamey, I think, showed why he is not a top NBA prospect. He can play well against average to slightly above average college players but against the top-notch athletes he gets lost. And in the NBA you don't play against average college players. I have beaten up on the Mikes all year but they played well today. Davis had a much better 2nd half than 1st half. Does anyone else wonder why Cole and Tisdale seem to lose the ball or go to the floor so often with the ball?

 

The Big Ten title is gone unless Illinois can steal wins @Purdue or OSU. I still think we'll find a way to lose at Northwestern. Another 10-8 Big Ten record may mean NIT for Illinois.

[illiniguy]

Well looking at the next 4 we have

@ IU

@NW

PSU

@ Min

 

We need to go 3-1 in that stretch or we are 6-5. With @MSU, @OSU and @ Purdue to go. 10-8 is happening.

Why didn't Griffey play today?

He hasn't played much of late. I think a lot of it is Weber is comfortable playing an 8 man rotation. He's the 9th guy. Next year I'm sure we will talk about playing deeper again, but we always settle on 8.

In my opinion, here is the good from today: If we play the rest of the season like today, we win the next four and maybe lose only two more games. We won't see another Sullinger type player this year and we shouldn't send another team to the line 27 times. OSU is the class of the Big Ten.
